Press Release:
Free Fertility Consultations to be Offered by Sher Institutes in Support of National Infertility Awareness Week
Consultations with fertility specialists normally range from $250-$500. However, Individuals/couples that call before the end of October to schedule a consultation with an SIRM physician won't be charged. During the consultation, the physician will spend approximately 45 minutes reviewing the patient's medical and reproductive history in depth and discussing her reproductive options. "We have always considered ourselves consumer advocates," said Dr. Geoffrey Sher, Executive Medical Director for the Sher Institutes. "With something as important and potentially life-changing as infertility treatment, we believe that knowledge is power. The more information a woman can get, the more confident and comfortable she'll be in making those vital decisions." Sher Institutes recently launched a nationwide initiative to increase awareness of fertility issues among women. Heading this campaign is internationally known patient advocate Pamela Madsen, founder and former Executive Director of the American Fertility Association. Ms. Madsen was recently appointed Director of Public Education for the Sher Institutes and hosts an educational website and blog with fertility related content at www.thefertilityadvocate.com. "This year's theme, 'Taking Charge of Your Fertility' is a perfect fit with our initiative to help educate women about their reproductive life cycle," said Madsen. "In the majority of cases, women don't know much about it until they face fertility issues. Our goal is to get them the information before they get into crisis mode. These free consultations are a perfect way for women to be proactive about their fertility." The Sher Institutes for Reproductive Medicine have 13 offices across the country from New York to California, but for those who don't live near an office, SIRM physicians are offering consultations via telephone. Those interested should call the SIRM Patient Resource Center at 866-428-3222.
